Bail is not to punish. Bail is to insure one makes their court days. The new system is supposed to screen arrestees
to determine whether they are a flight risk, and if they are a danger to anyone. Bail makes sure people without money stay in jail while awaiting trial, and those with money, dangerous or not, are able to go home. Do you really believe that making bail bondmen rich makes you safer? Are you under the impression that very dangerous people don't get released under the old system?
